McDonald's Beefs With Donald Trump On Twitter

By KRISTIN SALAKY Published MARCH 16, 2017, 9:49 AM EDT

Et tu, McDonald's?

McDonald's corporate Twitter account sent a rather negative message to noted fast food lover President Donald Trump Thursday morning, calling him a "disgusting excuse for a President" and insulting his hands.



The tweet was deleted around 9:30 a.m. ET with no immediate explanation. McDonald's did not immediately respond to TPM's request for comment. The tweet might come as a shock to President Trump, who is a noted lover of McDonald's.

“I’m a very clean person. I like cleanliness. I think you’re better off going there than someplace you have no idea where the food is coming from. It’s a certain standard,” Trump told Anderson Cooper. “The one thing about the big franchises: one bad hamburger, you can destroy McDonald’s. One bad hamburger, you take Wendy’s and all these other places and they’re out of business.”

For the record, his preferred meal is the Filet of Fish.

Oh, but we won't be doing all that FDA and USDA stuff any more - that's jack-booted thuggish government regulation, right?
